Peach Crumble Bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup (100g) rolled oats
- 3/4 cup (90g) white whole-wheat flour
- 1/2 cup (65g) plus 1 tablespoon coconut sugar, divided
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons (118ml) coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (36g) toasted hazelnuts, finely chopped
- 2 medium peaches, sliced (2 cups/320g)
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Line an 8-by-8-inch (20-by-20-cm) baking dish with parchment paper. Combine the oats, flour, 1/2 cup (65g) coconut sugar, cinnamon and salt in a food processor and pulse until oats are finely ground, about 10, 1-second pulses. Add the coconut oil and vanilla and pulse until the mixture begins to clump together.
Put 1/4 cup (60g) of the oat mixture in a small bowl, stir in the hazelnuts and set aside for topping. Press the remaining oat mixture into the bottom of the pan in an even layer.
In a small bowl, toss the peaches, remaining tablespoon of sugar and cornstarch together. Spread the peaches over the crust in the pan. Sprinkle with the topping. Bake until the edges are set and the top is golden brown, 35 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into 12 rectangles. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
